Report bias incidents to DOJ

The Oregon Department of Justice is tracking hate and bias crimes and incidents, which are on the rise.

Bias crimes and incidents can be verbal, physical, or visual. Examples could include:

• Name calling; using a racial, ethnic, or other slur to identify someone; or using degrading language.
• Creating racist or derogatory graffiti or images/drawings.
• Imitating someone with a disability, or imitating someone’s cultural norm or practice.
• Assaulting, injuring, or even touching someone in an offensive manner because of their perceived protected class.
• Threatening to physically harm a person, their family, or their property based on their perceived protected class.

If you witness or are the victim of a bias crime or incident, please report it. There are now email and chat options for reporting.
